By default, BUP_DIR is \f[C]\[ti]/.bup\f[R]. .SH OPTIONS .TP -r, --remote=\f[I]host\f[R]:\f[I]path\f[R] Initialize not only the local repository, but also the remote repository given by the \f[I]host\f[R] and \f[I]path\f[R]. This is not necessary if you intend to back up to the default location on the server (ie. a blank \f[I]path\f[R]). The connection to the remote server is made with SSH. If you\[cq]d like to specify which port, user or private key to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the \f[C]\[ti]/.ssh/config\f[R] file. .SH EXAMPLES .IP .nf \f[C] bup init \f[R] .fi .SH SEE ALSO .PP \f[C]bup-fsck\f[R](1), \f[C]ssh_config\f[R](5) .SH BUP .PP Part of the \f[C]bup\f[R](1) suite. .SH AUTHORS Avery Pennarun .
